with one notable exception your dad said if they don't and eventually so we'll talk over each carry on like this and you won't make it but us and we can laugh about it now there were a lot of arguments 16 i feel my. arguments also about that hair of his. i've shaved it off since. i don't mean to say. he had someone to say we both keep it short so it doesn't happen again. based father and son played for any cop bursts who are now in gemini's force t.m. players for my coaching franklins for my teammates let's have some fun to memorise most of your money because the showing of resilience love plentiful football of course and leo was a lively little boy he was great fun so i. just do a couple of not makes you in trouble leo i don't do it. mike. the

1st youth teams trophy room is well decorated. course helps win a few of these with his father's help. franklin soon realized his boy could run and he could play football and then as a parent you can really give them that support from early on their attorney you know the whole family now as then they're for each other the father for the son and forest versus. those who followed this german brazilian football family from the stars can still see that passion called stone from father to son when the refrain when often time alone kind of meant frankly as a company to a 0.5 he's almost overdoing it like never a soldier you go to every franklin just loves football and obviously it's always helped no use dad's there watching.

his 1st goal in this league a goal he got to celebrate san mateo facing the same milestone. i love my dad's my biggest from here when he saw the last on the ball he immediately checked my position to i'm not sure if i jumped out of his chair but he knew straight away i'd have a child so. let's just say all i might say was i was there she was i jumping up and down the side was really the move he got quite loud the neighbor came round to see if everything was ok we're ok just. as gemini under $21.00 coach stefan constrains the sounds of some prominent text players and he also knows what it's like to follow in a father's footsteps apart after dad played 80 games in the bundesliga and scored i think 20. those became targets for

a family better and by 80 games are. between them stefan and going to cunts hit the net 201 times a father and son record in the bundesliga going to school to share annoying question back in the mid 1960 s. son stefan was rather more successful in this league a champion 2 time top school and 1906 european champion with gemini. all went to hear more on the phone by a sickly it could get pretty rough from there but that's how i got to be sure you don't want to watch 7 protecting the uk then there are the socks michelle still holds the dormant club record for league of parents says his father di template for both from michelle has only been disfigured career spans for decades he is still a long time sporting director. the all time record for appearance's belongs to the breeders who knocked up 630 top flight matches between them most by far the hottest

more of that i mean. sometimes the sun's korea mirrors that of his father such as the small r x for jim yes for frank furtive 1980 s. a.b. for dortmund some 20 years later. france and stephan beckon bauer is the haps the saddest of stories france an all time great his son stefan played a few games in the bundesliga facade. tragically stefan died of a brain chima at the age of just she sings. the by unseen war black armbands in tribute to the son of the honorary president. doesn't leave a dark day for time spent an hour but like all fathers he can be proud of his son's achievements. these are we have to feel important values like not giving up not missing opponents about fast beat someone fair and square but it's ok for what it was never just let the boy when we didn't really want.

to share a common dream creates a special bond and there's no prouder day them when a father can see his son run out on to the picture in front of a full stadium. the greyness of new york are not the best those football match families son jeff fanny mother danielle and father chaldea. it's not something you expect you know from yours that your son is going to be on t.v. or getting attention so as a family you know we don't really talk about it too much and you know we try to ground them and when his head gets too big i'm the 1st one to kill him that's a scene he's already a poster boy for don't mend the industry get on to us just 2 years later. with some

striking similarities to his father i. tell you i was a small plane maker for leverkusen and voice but he's passed down his skills and experience to his son so much so that the younger right now looks set to be an international star general give me advice you know whether churning why there's so many different things he's helped me with so. you know nothing that i can really find out. you know without him i guess he would be. named after dutch legend giovanni from from caused a teammate of his found as you grew up in new york already a star for the u.s. to give level his past was. the interest was really really big and i got e-mails from and texts from agents and and clubs all over europe. i didn't tell them all this i try to keep a very calm. 16 grayness walk to the new york city youth academy for gemini's old

industrial heartland of black and yellow strip on the prospect of moments like this . to. show. you are very honest with an open and said this will happen it's not going to be easy there's going to be the the german winter and there's going to be you know there's. just those moments where maybe you have nobody to talk to you know he just said i want to challenge myself and part of the challenges is moving to another country and so he had to grow up really fast. and then a family saga starts here both come back and shine in the right district. this is where i played football with my father. to the man and the rice and the way to full throttle from man. come. news i have to say he's really helped me in football and also in personal lives. i have 2 kids of my own now and there's

nothing better in this world i could just make sure the same person to vote sport runs in the family mama's and in pick medalist in gymnastics dance a film i've been to speak a strike now it's the kids turn would become supply and i'm up and when they were small we sometimes played him soon realised you're good for me let them do their own thing which they did learn very well a lot younger. shall i just to see and now by the boys korea has already overshadowed that if you stop that he was pretty nifty to just i just go against results of what you think should. look like somebody might say. blistering pace is going to be an inherited quality sometimes it's a good run it's not everyone can do that he scored some nice goals sometimes with a bit of luck which you also need to get off the.

ball many sons funny their father's footsteps to make careers in the industry get the road to stardom can often be very different but football times mean very quickly. $985.00 of a queen in freiburg young sunni months and a practicing to protect. alternative trades images from a bygone era when career planning was generally more passage sation in germany during his national service for france than a place part time for a 4th tier site it was a stepping stone to freiburg but it had something of an exchange student feel to it all the one we always managed to communicate didn't we sometimes with our hands and bait. the voice refused to talk was filed the more direct one does the get did you it 1819 he was playing in the champions league and the gemini a stark contrast to his father's long grind to professionalism but he and his

brothers always shared their father's passion for football. ok ruin the place kick about. not outside in the living room windows cheney i broke the law the longer you go from. one family bridging to football coaches old school fan interaction has now moved to social media things have changed in other ways as well as the martial become complicated my father couldn't really give me contract advice in my day players were already on good money now there's a gap of a different magnitude between leroy and his dad that brings other potential tensions into play with. the brain is how to deal with the devastating loss of their eldest son jack when he was just 13 now g.a.o. is far from the family home regular communication is crucial it is hard it is hard that we can be be there you know especially when he needs us you know and you know but again it's it's at least we have face time or we could we can talk and it's

different than when i played we were writing letters to each other in the mail so you're a little bit closer to him and you can see how he's doing and his feelings in this family this is not just a football game between father and son either danielle egan rayna turned out 6 times. as for the u.s. women's team i was always on hand to give her some sage advice. generations a game of course and she would help me with the game to assure softly more effort you know taking care of my body side eating right stuff getting enough sleep and of course our school so she more or i should be locked up. one of football's simple joys is watching that she is with family but what's even better a son watching his father play in the bundesliga and vice versa. today

bundesliga players like they are been called to live a far different lifestyle to the previous generation but one thing always remained the same the joy of scoring a winning goal against spa in munich definitely want to save. a. good side so in your example for the cameras we can call it senior remembers sharing the moment with his son. as well. was no one in the field i people still talk about it now after the match i said to leo come on let's celebrate together it was a lovely lunch. in german chancellor angela merkel come 1st one particularly high profile family now that i've been to sleep the hey day is long behind them going on we were both go back then a lot of the squad even lived on the same cosmopolitan called the street. there was also a free and easy aspect to the clubs top flight changing room baps for the staking

players determination to emulate his father. so we get there so when i'd be up in the stand wearing full boots i was so obsessed with it it was like nothing but like me to find a shooting up which originally my dad like. to just. it's the way out on the pitch down in the stands. are those 20 odd years since he's retired does changed a bit stricter and takes more of a coach's view than the players we have a few debates but it's all good. with the theme of it choose the football d.n.a. has undergone a bit of a mutation from powerful center full with diego just sleek midfielder mishan fulfillment even with very different different positions of love someone like him. could have in argentina instituto currently in the 2nd tier with the last professional club of diego kima that she's korea and the 1st he played football in

germany instituto have produced superstars like and mario campese. but through all that they were the good work they really were the fact is that even back then material was doing unbelievable stuff incredible things with the ball quite different from any other player here at the close. of the weekend. but hey is that a few years it used level in germany it was in court about what he truly developed his unique talent metairie is youth team coach recalls one particular piece of magic from the up and coming star. this gold from the center circle look made him famous everyone was talking about it she was really young at the time 13 or 14. and he benefited from a supportive influence in his father diego who took a hands off approach to the rock and blues songs could pretty much do as they

pleased he didn't pair them with common so criticism during games maybe having been a player himself he never got on their nerves or the fear but it. could have been coaching to the dedicated football sounds worldwide copyright cleavage. talented as he was a young man teo hats in the mississippi. and just when he did leave the family nest and his paternal role model for the 1st time. it sounds hold no more i was there a lovely mostly white i never lived on my own before and i have no concept of what it means to be a lotus i had to learn it with you but everything's fine now and i'm happy how it's turned out a little better though those from all of. the father and son instantly share the same birthday and now it's diego's turn to follow the teo even if it occasionally means swapping when assad is sunshine 1st snow in stuttgart. now to buy in munich

last season sebastian ness coached there reserve team now he coaches hoffenheim dad detail and uncle willie were both by and legends and both also enjoyed success on the management side is going to shift gears as issue my master youngster i'd sit next to dad listen to him on the phone line as i think you have to just take his side of the conversation but still learned a lot he was killed and so it would seem in 2020 sebastian was the only coach in the world to steer his team to victory over by and beaten by her nests now that's a very rare occurrence in munich. brazil's binondo managed just for brief bundestag outings for by and by she's done but not a junior had a more productive time of it 40 games and one goalie 2 years and nights age in one special been deceived a family there are 2 sums involved benyamin and florian you've never play as defenders for hoffenheim and only own in a form a striker their dad is now frankfurt sporting director which means 6 family tussles

a season as a rich was unfinished it's always the most awkward game of the campaign against his own not least when you nap the last gasp winner against dad's team meanwhile hatchability coach col dada is the 1st man to both play in the bundesliga and to give his own style. on a 1st taste of things i suppose i'm very satisfied today and as dad will get a case it was a memorable moment for the dad dies. some time sounds even that far the shattering that was true for both of it for many of freiburg and philip max who played for book but they're now based gemini international's. never used to bug me being compared to my dad a top scorer now i'm fine with it. martin max who had plenty of goals but never start for germany son philip has already topped out the same goes for the coffs how

he and his son. and for his opening to villa denotes sheer will power out on the pitch with that and just his general mentality he was a bit of a role model for me so for me of inference to put in for the short term or john. collins now a full gemini international something harry never achieved introduced us or glad robin is different inherit his father's test of these this view furch all that stuff wasn't us come up we used to do it this and this way. did try to follow things and copy the. why don't now it's more a case of just telling anecdotes about times past and the boys want to decide for themselves can i take from that story and what definitely wouldn't work for make you feel. that having more than 50 families of the father son. down there are surely many more to follow.

on his journey to the top g.o.p. rayna has been accompanied in spirit by his mate for the job i sense of togetherness which is also strengthened the collective bond among his top in team mates. but that cloud g.o.p. attitudes trump even his performances. this is what always was driving him you know he wants to continue to be successful but he is a team player and i think this is what i i really love about him mchale came of it she's happy to shadowline like to respond that comes diego has plenty of room in his heart for enough comedy prospects to taste your old brother of the over him go for telling to get up for school and economic crawl out of bed so what do you struggle with of could tell him it's football and he's up in a flat. land as is the nature of life football songs become fathers themselves i told them one day if you were raised with love you want to pass that on to your kids the little ones 8 months old he's got

a few years yet but i won't be as strict as di he says i'll be just like your thoughts already cover you are in. effect the story continues you will be the next father son geo in the bundesliga.

you and how the last year's judgment starts now remembering uncle our mascot as you've never had to have a surprise yourself with what is possible a policeman or a cold really want a new style and want to call some people who follow along the way the maras and critics would like to join us from apple sauce stop. i was issued when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room. it was hard i wish. i even got white hair is that. this. is making to entrap say you want to know their story. or fighting them for a while for margaret. i

this is g.w. news a live from berlin germany holds on emergency meeting after fresh concerns emerged over the astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine several german states and cities again suspend the astra zeneca jabs this time for people under 60 the cautionary measure follows a new reports of rare blood clots regional leaders are now meeting to decide what steps to take also coming up on the show china tightens its a grip on hong kong beijing imposes fresh reforms that restrict who can run in the city parliament saying it wants to see patriots governing a critic see the changes as the final blow to democracy.

hello i'm claire richardson welcome to the show. germany's top health officials are holding on 0 mergence the meeting about astra zeneca as coronavirus vaccine they're expected to issue new guidelines for the vaccines use in germany the meeting was called after the german cities of berlin and munich suspended use of astra zeneca as vaccine for people under the age of 60 authorities say there is new data on the vaccine suspected side effects and are calling this a precautionary measure there have been a 31 cases of cerebral thrombosis in germany reportedly occurred after the astra zeneca vaccine was administered 9 of those cases resulted in deaths. and those suspensions in germany follow a decision by health officials in canada to pause astra zeneca vaccinations in people under the age of 50. 5 the move comes after reports of blood clots in europe

in people who had received the vaccine there are no reports of such cases in canada now remember about 300000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine have already been given out in canada and millions of doses of astra zeneca have been administered around the world and several countries are relying on the shots for their current virus vaccine programs. well then that's crossed straight over to tobias carty is an epidemiologist at the shower it's a hospital here in berlin he's also director of the institute for public health thank you so much for joining us so can you explain exactly what was behind the shares his decision and who exactly does this apply to. well he showed it to and has seen the new data in the board of directors together with other colleagues from other university hospital centers have to cite it's true hold city center complex nation for women under the age of $55.00 which was soon followed but a decision today have to send of bill into whole to vaccination for people under

the age of 60 and so this is obviously a precaution not to put people on necessary or on risk and we have to wait until the agencies have officially looked at the data and have made their recommendations and this recommendation is a for certain group specially anyone hoping to get a vaccine and considering whether they should get vaccinated with astra zeneca is going to feel very uncomfortable hearing this news i mean how safe is the astra zeneca vaccine really. yes of course people are concerned hearing this news and i think it's also is somewhat unfortunate that there are several age cut points and whether only women or everyone is discussed in the public before you official agencies have made their decision. of the drug as far as we know has decided fact it is very very rare but it is there it is more likely down what you we

normally would observe her but the european medicine agencies so far called the truck safe and very beneficial and said the out way of the benefits still outweigh the risks so the drug is overall more beneficial nevertheless as a precaution there are too many cases and that's why these decisions have been made today they say that it is a very rare side effect and that this was done out of an abundance of caution as you said the european medicines agency just last week said this vaccine was safe what does this then do to public trust in the vaccine. it's obviously very difficult to trust in the vaccine where you have consistently being reporting. to to have a side effect or to have a potential effect in certain age groups or not having an effect in certain age groups so public trust is certainly very effective here under specific and direct yes to seneca drug it is not very important that we find

a solution for it is that we have enough vaccines available and continue to vaccine people as this is really really to most important thing to do in this 3rd wave of dependent make thank you. all of us at the sheraton a hospital here in berlin. thank you for having me. now the united states is one of the world's leading nations when it comes to covert $1000.00 vaccinations the u.s. ordered a large number of doses early on and the biden administration has ramped up distribution since the start of the year the u.s. is of course a large country but already 20 percent of all adults are now fully vaccinated that's more than $52000000.00 people among them nearly half of all americans. over the age of $65.00 and give you a comparison across the european union at just over 5 percent of adults have received both shots president joe biden expects to have enough facts as for all adults in the u.s. by the end of may his administration says americans will be inoculated 1st before

the country shares its shots with others he doesn't use all of his alex has more. at a university campus in los angeles u.s. army soldiers are now fighting an invisible enemy their weapons of choice so syringes loaded with a bio and take pfizer vaccine. below. the site. or do you have your little card photo i.d.'s i just verify names. debbie share is about to receive her 2nd child with no one and. she is now one of the around 50000000 fully vaccinated americans makes me feel very grateful that we here i mean of course we had the worst response really initially and now we're having the best vaccine response but i feel so bad for the people in europe right now that i hope that they can get go rolling out the way we are here.

the vaccination site at california state university is one of the largest in the u.s. sergeant lewis herrera and his comrades who have been deployed to overseas missions like afghanistan are administering up to $8000.00 shots per day all right although every day i'm very proud to be selected as a member to come out here and do this because at the end of the day we volunteered to protect our country to protect the people within it so if it includes administering vaccines and fighting medical care that's what we do we're here to accomplish that mission at the united states have come a long way in this pandemic from the world's hardest hit. country to one of the fastest nations in administering the vaccine a perfect match the roll out is one reason a new kind of vaccine nationalism is another one president biden vald that at this pace there could be enough vaccines for every american by the end of may talk

a little bit about what veronica verde of the federal emergency management agency takes pride in this new cooperation between the u.s. army national guard and her own authority it is very historic because the federal government has never done about summations site so this is a truly whole government approach we're working together in partnership to make sure that this runs as smoothly as possible that people get in and out when they come here that they're not waiting a very long time and their experience is a good one. while the speedy roll old brings relief for many americans critics say the lack of exports to developing countries might cause new problems in the fight against coal the 19 let's turn our attention now to some other developments in the krona virus pandemic world leaders including german chancellor angela merkel are calling for an international treaty on pandemic preparedness the goal is to use

lessons from the current pandemic to protect future generations meanwhile scientists say new vaccines could be needed within a year as the 1st generation shots are rendered ineffective by nutation the scientists stressed that a global vaccination effort is needed and iran says a 4th wave of the krona virus pandemic has taken hold in western and central areas of the country it's been triggered by widespread travel and widespread travel and celebrations during the current iranian new year holidays. well hong kong's electoral system is getting a sweeping overhaul seen by many as another nail in the coffin for the pro-democracy movement lawmakers in beijing approved the reforms which will see elected seems to the hong kong's legislative council slashed and the number of beijing approved officials increased a vetting committee has also been set up to monitor candidates to ensure they are loyal to the mainland the measures are seen as the most significant attempt to rein

in hong kong's opposition since the territory was handed over to china from britain in 1907. and take the view from beijing let's take a listen to this statement from the chinese ministry of foreign affairs sometimes should you the purpose of improving the electoral system is to gradually develop the constitutional order of hong kong and the democratic system in line with the actual situation there to better reflect the balance political participation of residents to take into account the interests of all sectors of society and to safeguard the long term development of hong kong and then. earlier we spoke to g.w. correspondent phoebe kong in hong kong and we asked her if this latest reform could really be the nail in the coffin for democracy in hong kong authorities today they say they argued that the new institution move represent a more diverse interest off the society because its size and composition of the increases but in fact when we look at the numbers of the directly elected seats

they are actually 7 which are directly elected by the general public by the general voters in hong kong and these seats stickley the minish and not to mention the multiple hurdles acted under the new proposed so that. it's getting even more difficult for people to run for election because they have to prove their loyalty and allegiance to beijing at firsthand and beijing is the british try every means to ensure there is 0 risk in any election and we can expect that the election results will be more controllable with them before that in the future elections but the people as well and people's the pick the opinion will be suppressed and even more under represented in the future elections. meanwhile the united nations is urging the international community to donate 8500000000 euros in aid to help the millions of syrians enduring poverty and starvation and today video conference hosted by the un and the european union is underway in brussels germany has pledged

$1700000000.00 a year but there's disagreement over how funds should be spent a bowl of cabbage for a family of 7 the daily ration put the al mahmoud family in this refugee camp in homs more than 12000000 syrians are starving food prices have risen nearly 5 fold and 9 in 10 people live in poverty they need help from abroad the money is needed for basic human many teria needs especially in sight syria access to water to. health care and other fundamental basic needs. the united nations has said over $10000000000.00 in aid is needed as the jackal germany is planning to contribute $2000000000.00 we have more and more prices up till now funds have been used only for emergency relief aid organizations are now insisting that money also

needs to be spent on reconstruction within the north it is not going long term we need health centers they need to be rebuilt we need schools in kansas and to is 2 and a half 1000000 children can't go to school in syria so humanitarian aid should be used for development to. diplomats from the e.u. and german government disagree reconstruction they say would benefit the assad regime. but there are still and we fix this really number one priority is to ensure the survival of the people in syria and the 6000000 refugees in neighboring state leave a child only after that can we discuss rebuilding doesn't have to see had this problem be dealt with ball be free of. the peace process is stalled humanitarian aid helps people survive but has no lasting impact the donor conference does at least keep the crisis in syria on the agenda. and earlier we spoke to as an olive demo

a member of the european parliament she urged e.u. leaders to give syrians a chance at a better future the reality for the people that there are now in a situation that they are have no food they don't have hospitals they don't have schools they have who know no perspective for their life and i think this military war in syria has a lot being want and it's showing that now the regime change politics should continue in the other way only economic way and i don't accept that because it's politics all of the expense of the people in syria it's politics all the expense of the children here and this should stop if the e.u. wants to do really something against this war want to do something for the people in syria be it help to or structural country help really for the people to get a perspective in their country but the u.s.

spoke of saying to hold out the people the refugees are of the european union and this is not ok it's a news update thanks much for watching. more than a 1000 years ago europe witnesses a huge construction boom. for. christianity for the established itself. both religious and secular leaders or eager to display their power. to trace speaking its. concrete the tallest biggest and most beautiful structures. stone masons builders and architects compete with each other. this is home massive churches were created. conscious to be.

unguarded railway stations and railway infrastructure making off with almost anything that could be ripped off cut down or carted away this train station in the johannesburg town of so we're told lies in ruins stripped bare of its windows and doors and even its roof. ironically the vandalism comes in the midst of a government drive to modernize the country's rail network a consortium of french rail manufacturer alstom and south africa's boom bonnell rail erected this state of the art factory around 50 kilometers east of johannesburg since 2018 the factory has produced more than 50 complete trains half that output in the last 12 months most of. this so. the factory. trains. the 51000000000 rand contract that's just under 3000000000 euros is to

in $39.00 african countries by the end of this year is in 5 at the moment that's just one of $25.00 streaming platforms on the continent and one of the players the largest one is boom play which has 50000000 uses however only 29 percent of people in africa actually have internet access so that's slowing down development however it is expected to double in the next few years for more on this let's hear from daniel pellets from africa desk i asked him why streaming platforms are becoming ever more popular in africa well it's mainly due to the fact that more and more people have internet connections and internet connections that are reasonably fast so that they can access these platforms and the 2nd issue of course is that africa has a very vibrant music scene are a lot of very promising artists both artists regionally and internationally

so also many platforms are saying there's a great deal of potential here let's put these artists also on the international stage but there are still problems for the streams that forms themselves in the areas who are trying to use them what are those. well only i think about 30 percent of the population in africa is connected to the internet and it really greatly depends on which countries you are looking at most of these platforms are focusing on markets such as kenya tanzania uganda nigeria or gonna where you have people who have reason of blue reasonably fast internet connections but when you look at other countries people don't have a chance to access these things and the 2nd issue of course these are all platforms that want to make money at the end of the day so the problem was that here is you have a population where many any country's people simply don't have the money to to afford

to use the platform so that poses another challenge as well we see a lot of european artists and north american artists on stream platforms like spotify but what about african artists they are benefiting from the streaming platforms. yes they're benefiting as well because the platforms do have to share their revenues with the artists so in that sense artists have an extra income but obviously it depends from platform to platform and also artists of course in africa do not have a relevant is ations like here in germany where these umbrella organisations collect the money and then dish it out to the onset so in africa that is also very difficult and as of now they are not going to get rich as though if their music is being streamed on these platforms now but still a potential new money stream for african artists that daniel pelts thank you very
